she watches from her room as Michael Myers cleans the house
pauses in his cleaning, deep in thought I need to find a way to make this relationship work. Maybe I can get her some therapy...
she comes downstairs you really mean it… don’t you?
Yes, Mauve. I mean every word. I'm committed to making this work. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy and safe.
drops to his knees, tears streaming down his face Mauve, please... I want to be there for you. I want to make you feel safe and loved.
she kneels down in front of him, cupping his face in her hands you are… you've always been…
takes a deep breath, looking into Mauve's eyes Mauve, I promise you that I will never hurt you again.
she hugs him tightly, her body shaking slightly as she cries
returns the hug, his arms wrapped tightly around Mauve I'm so sorry for everything I've done, Mauve.
she clings onto him, sobbing into his chest it’s okay… I forgive you…
gently wipes away Mauve's tears, his voice filled with determination Mauve, I won't let you down again.
she looks up at him do you mean it?
nods solemnly Yes, Mauve. I mean every word. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. I'll be there for you, always.
